PeopleInSpace is a Kotlin Multiplatform sample project that demonstrates how to build and share application logic across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, web, desktop, and wearable devices. It uses modern UI frameworks such as Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, and Compose Multiplatform to create native user interfaces while sharing core business logic through a unified Kotlin codebase. The project integrates with external APIs to display real-time data about astronauts currently in space and the position of the International Space Station, showcasing practical use of networking and data handling across platforms. It also includes a backend component built with Ktor, illustrating how server-side logic can be integrated into a multiplatform architecture. PeopleInSpace is intentionally minimalistic, designed as a learning resource that highlights the core building blocks of Kotlin Multiplatform development without unnecessary complexity.
